“He is a musician,
who, progressing from the sensually perceived tones,
reaches with his intellect
to the non-sensual harmonies
and their natural proportions.”

Platon / Socrates

“Music
is based on the harmony between heaven and earth,
on the accordance of the turbid and the light.
Perfect music has its cause.
It results from balance.
Balance arises from the right,
the right results from the sense of the world.
Therefore you can only discuss music with someone
who has cognized the sense of the world.”

Lü Bü We’s “Spring and Autumn”

“Music lights up
the harmony laws:
those primordial forces of nature,
in the light of which
creation is mirrored.
the Self provides the principle of rest -
consciousness
the principal of eternal movement;

Theses two principles:
rest and movement:
pervade all true life between heaven and earth:
between being and consciousness.

Therefore the wise man speaks
in music
about the universal ethical order.”
